About company

OD Markets Limited (OD Markets) was founded in 2016. The company is listed on the New Zealand Financial Service Providers Register under the trade name OD Markets Ltd. The broker is regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). OD Markets clients can trade Forex, precious metals, natural gas, oil, stocks, and products. Notably, OD Markets does not cooperate with customers from New Zealand. The Financial Markets Authority is a New Zealand supervisory agency. It plays a key role in the capital market and monetary services industry in New Zealand. Remarkably, New Zealand’s regulator is not very strict in comparison with the European one. At the same time, brokers in New Zealand should adhere to certain rules that apply to financial statements. Nevertheless, OD Markets deliberately blocked the accounts of the most successful traders. In this regard, the company was convicted in the FPA Traders Court.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the main drawbacks of the broker are a conviction by the FPA Traders Court, high commissions, and limited ways to withdraw funds. On top of that, trading conditions are not transparent enough. Lengthy wire transfers lack credibility. Advantages such as regulation by a reliable financial authority and training for novice traders cannot offset the obvious disadvantages.
